Three appeals for separate thefts are being made by police, with distinctive fishing gear stolen from Llangollen and two trailers stolen – both in Wrexham.

Trailer Theft One
North Wales Police are appealing for information following the theft of a trailer taken from Rhosymedre Industrial Estate Wrexham.

On Thursday 31st July 2014 at 00.57 3 unknown offenders have entered the advance industrial estate in a vehicle and left at 01.03 with the stolen trailer attached.

The trailer was empty when taken and had an Irish number plate of 141WH477 which is likely to have been removed.

If you noticed anything suspicious, or have any information relating to this incident please contact North Wales Police by dialling 101 quoting reference RC14118144.

Trailer Theft Two

Sometime between 11.30 and 3pm Tuesday 5th August an Ivor Williams trailer containing an orange cement mixer wheel barrows, a trolley jack and hole bores was stolen from Cae Gabriel in Pen Y Cae.

Again, anyone with information is urged to call police on 101.

Llangollen Fishing Gear Theft

The last appeal is for information following a theft from motor vehicle, which occurred in a hotel car park in Llangollen Town Centre. The incident occurred sometime between 8:30pm and 8:45pm on Friday 1st August.

Llangollen was very busy during the time of this offence, and the offence occurred close to Regent Street, so witnesses to the event are likely.

It is believed 2 males were involved with the theft; they made their escape in a small/medium sized white van with a distinctive black trim around the body work.

The male thieves have smashed windows to gain access to the contents of the vehicle, after which they have stolen the following property:

  • Costa Sunglasses
  • STORM Fishing Box
  • 2 fly bags and contents
  • Boat Seat
  • SIMMS Waterproof Jacket
  • Prodry SIMMS jacket and trousers, grey and olive in colour.
  • 3 x Sage 1 rods (Black fly rods)
  • Aluminum SIMMS case from USA, very distinctive, with ‘Sage’ written on side.
  • IM2750 STORM box, green heavy duty box with handle and wheels which includes 4 gold fly reels, 25 fly spools, fly lines, accessories
  • Set of Hardy Demon Reels
  • Large green fishing bag containing green bag of fly reels and spools, 9 boxes of flied, fish finder and various nets.
  • Orvis Power Matrix fishing rod
  • 9 Camping kettles
  • Taylor Made Rocket Blade Golfing Irons and Bag

Police are also keen to point out that some of these items are very distinctive and cannot be obtained in the UK, therefore people are urged to keep an eye out while on eBay, carboots or the like.

If you noticed anything suspicious, or have any information relating to this incident please contact North Wales Police by dialling 101 quoting reference RC14010529.

Alternatively, you can provide information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers Wales on 0800 555 111.
